AMATEUR BULL FIGHTING.
1t Helps Relieve the Extreme Dizziness of
Mexican Hacienda Life.

MeX1cAn nAclenuA Atles
The Mexican climate is monotonously
beautiful, and that is why people hunger
for lively diversions, for example, bull
fighting, which is still the rage here to
the extent of three crowded rings every
Sunday afternoon, with an occasional
weekday night "corrida" by the light of
electric lamps. On the haciendas, where
life is very quiet and the manager and
his family must enjoy themselves some
how, the amateur bull fighter is now all
the 60 Some of these contests are the
funniest things Imaginable. There is
risk enough to performers to make
things interesting to them and
also to the spectators, and the bull,
not contending with professionals, has
some chance for displaying his own
proves. The other day there was an
amateur bull fight on an estate forty
miles from this city, to which some young
men were invited from among our gilded
youth. The city boys went in their nat
test charro costumes, all bebraided with
silver and ornamented with buttons of
the same material. To one of the city
visitors, a thin man, was delegated the
work of arranging the ring, which was
made of carts in which the spectators
were to sit. The thin man arranged the
carts in circle, giving room for himself
to pass between the vehicles, the idea
being TO let the amateur performers have
a chance TO escape should the bull be too
lively for them.
The afternoon of the performance
came, and all the hacienda people and
the city visitors climbed into the carts,
one cart being occupied by young men
who, with short sticks in hand, affected
to be the musicians of the grand taurine
tournament. They whistled national
airs and ballad pieces, going through
many manipulations of their supposed
brass instruments, and added much to
the fun of the whole affair. By and by
the bull, a smart young steer. was driven
into the ring. The occupants of the
carts greeted him with shouts, which
confused him a little, but he soon recov-
cred himself, and his eye picked
out the haccndado himself, stout
man with fat legs, who was
anxious to show his city guests that he
was something of bull fighter himself
The steer made for our fat friend, and
gave him some opportunities to display
his running and lodging qualities, bat at
last, getting too much in earnest, the
steer rushed after the heavy weight per-
former, who, to his horror, found that
the openings between the carts, as ar
ranged by his thin friend, would not per-
nit an escape. 1t was now a question of
staying in the ring and getting badly
gored or vaulting the line of carts. The
occupants of the vehicles were wild witt
fun to see the steer rushing and lunging at
the painting fat hacendado, who finally,
as by miracle, jumped a cart and cs-
capped his bovine foe.
Next, a lively city visitor, dressed in
his finest, essayed to show his points as
an amateur bull fighter. He entered the

A Visit to LIE Roy.

Having desire to become acquainted
with some of our neighbors and see 9TH
er portions of the county, we boarded
the train last Friday afternoon for LIE
Roy. Arriving there about o'clock, we
went to the Caswell House where we
met Mr., Slitor, the popular landlord.
Mr.. s. is still using the crutches to sup
port broken limb, the result of fall
some time ago. The fracture is giving
him considerable trouble, and seems to
mend very slowly.
We then meandered over to the Inde-
pendent office and made the acquaintance
of Lawyer and Editor Mcknight. We
found him with his coat off and sleeves
up, busy IN what he termed his wash
day, getting out the Independent.
Calling at the furniture store we met
Mr.. Martz, Jr., who informed us that his
father was quite ill, and had not been
out of his room for over eight weeks.
At present he was thought to be improv.
ing slowly. Mr.. Martz has had long
and hard siege of it. .-. ..@
Among the healthy, robust men of lie
Roy, with muscle like Texas steer
we would mention Mr.. A. J. Porter, the
sturdy blacksmith, and one of the old
timers of lie Roy. He is jolly old coon
and pleasant gentleman to meet.
Geo. Pierce is also one Of the "old set
tiers" and swings the hammer oyer the
anvil in Mr.. Porters shop. @
G. P. Wells is another of LeRoy's pop
ular blacksmlths, not an old settler, but
one of the later additions to Leroy.
G. A. Smart, a merchant, is another Of
the late arrivals at Leroy, having locat-
ed there about eight months age. he
inquired after Mr.. Folsom, lately from
Leroy, and remarked that he would make
a valuable addition to Austin, both as q
citizen and business man. Il.

Thus we kept on in our rounds until
we struck the corner store of Porter 81
Young, where we met lively crowd and
got into pretty mess. We had
not been there any more than an
hour before we had a challenge to play
them game of base ball. We politely
informed them that we were no ball club
but that we should 20 right home and.
tell the boys all about 1t, just how they
thought they could 'do us up" which.
we knew would stir our boys up tO q
fever heat, and that we should arm our
selves with the proper implements, and;
return to Leroy, and show them how to,
play ball. They admired our pluck, and.
promised that if we would come, they.
would tap keg of nails (cigars) and en-
tertain us in royal manner while there
Those of the boys whom we met are jolly
good fellows, and we are confident that:
if the Austin boys visit them they will
not regret 1t. But just here the boys say
we cannot make the raise, and our bread
goes butter side down as usual. They
are busy and the time so short that it.
will be impossible to get ready, We.
will meet you in the field some other
time, Sorry we cannot go now but it
can't be helped this time. u
Leroy also has a rifle team that are.
making some excellent scores on target
shooting. We were informed that they
intend to compete for the national prize,
and would send in target for inspection
If those sent IN are as badly perforated
as the ones we saw, it will not make q
bad showing. lie Roy's sporting men
are we'll loaded with admiration for q
colony of bird dogs that are in camp
there and seem to have been given the
freedom of the CITY," awaiting the
opening Of the e"snipe" season. We will
wait to see them IN active operation in
the field before giving their points to the
world.
All around, the visit was a pleasant
one. Before leaving however, we came
to this conclusion-LeRoy is as lively q
little place as we have struck in long
time, both for business and for sport.
and we shall improve the next op
portunity to visit Leroy, that we may
become still better acquainted. When
visiting Austin we extend cordial invi-
tation to all to come up and see us. Our
latch string is always out, and we want
you to come in and size US up, see what
"whopper" we Can tell, and then tell q
bigger one if you can. !

CHAPTER III.

It was late in the evening, and as Blake
rode along musing Oh his hemeward way,
hi horse, pricking up his ears, gave eTi-
dence that something was wrong. Pcerjng
into the darkness aud guided as well by
the horses preference for the right side
of the road as by his eyesight, he
discovered something black lying by the
roadside. Dismounting he approached
the object, and bending over it discovered
q PROSTATE female form. ~ lighted match
revealed the pallid features Of q girl o.
about seventeen. At first Allan believed
her dead, but though faint her pulse beat
regularly. Dropping the bride he brought
water from Il small stream, and bathing
her temples soon restored her to conscious
ness. AT first b~ewildered, then frightened
she uttered 1 faint cry Of alarm followed
by one OF pain. Adams kind tones reas-
| sured her. and he soon discovered that her
| ankle was sprained, she had tainted, that
her name was Hetty Farmer and that her
| home was on the other side of Spring
creek. Hetty was no ETHEREAL being, but
that did not prevent Allan from picking
her up in his arms and placing her on bis
horse. who. with cautious steps, carried his
burden with Ii Ii of the responsibility
which rested Oh his back. Mrs. Farmer
was gently apprised of the catastroph.y
which had befallen Hetty, and though
warmly and repeatedly urged 70 ST down
babe mother and daughters good night as
soon almost as he had carried the girl into
the house, promising, however, to come
again at some more s~easonable hour. BY
a word and the mention Of his name they
knew him to be the wonderful Allan G.
Blake so well spoken OF by the head Of
the house.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1887-04-09
? ~.

Joel Farmer was absent at the time Of
Hetty's mishap, in fact with the exception
of occasional visits he had been away Tor
two months. The gold fever had broken
out again upon him, and he spent DAYS OF
hard expectant work and nights Of vision
ary dreams. He had taken up a claim
some forty miles from home, and was
working away with might and main, hop
ing once more to secure Il golden fortune.
His family, though not in needy cirtum-
stances, felt severely the effect OF his fso-
longed absences. There was a hired man
on the place, but ven though he did his
best he could not manage IS well Is Joel
Farmer. So the women folks tried to dis
uade him from going out again each time
he went, but it was useless.
Allan rode out and asked after Hettv.
She in person replied to his knock on the
door, and thoughlame was radiently beau
tiful and did not offer such a study rs cid
Allie whose quiet, unassumlng manner
took him completely.
If Hetty was beautiful she was not
solidly sensible. There was a frivolous
manner about her that showed no depth
Of character. Though plain and homely,
Allie spoke from the heart and did not at
tempt to make an impression. Mrs. Far
1ner seemed to defer TO Ietty, and at times,
so Allan thought: totally overlooked the
quiet daughter who spoke only when she
had something to say, aud said what she
meant. Allan had been Il wild boy in his
day, but now at t~Wenty-nine he was sober
inc down, had determined to be a man
and would Q any longer play the boy.
In sucn a frame Of mind Allies demure
manner was exactly what suited him. Her
honest expressions caught him, aEd after
a visit which lasted over an hour he said
to himself that he would win the elder
daughter for his wife and secure for him
self a quiet future which no storm of dis
agreements would oyerset.
